The answer that i think is the best choice is b, a sense of moving forward without pauses for reflection

Shelley employs terza rima in "Ode to the West Wind" as a sense of moving forward without pauses for reflection. Option B is correct.

In P.B. Shelley's poem, Ode to the West Wind, it was used the terza rima (rhyme scheme: a-b-a, b-c-b, c-d-c, d-e-d).

"Ode to the West Wind" is an ode, written by Percy Bysshe Shelley in 1819 near Florence, Italy. In this poem, Shelley allegorises the role of the poet as the voice of change and revolution.
